What is matter? What is it made up of?

Chemistry

Julli [10]3 years ago

A definition of "matter" more fine-scale than the atoms and molecules definition is: matter is made up of what atoms and molecules are made of, meaning anything made of positively charged protons, neutral neutrons, and negatively charged electrons. There are three states of matter, they are: solid, liquid and gas. In extreme environments, other states may be present, such as plasma, Bose-Einstein condensates and neutron stars .

Gaseous ethane will react with gaseous oxygen to produce gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water . Suppose 2.7 g of ethane is m
Bond [772]

Answer:

m_{H_2O}=4.86gH_2O

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the described chemical reaction is:

C_2H_6+\frac{7}{2} O_2\rightarrow 2CO_2+3H_2O

Thus, for the given reacting masses, we must identify the limiting reactant for us to determine the maximum mass of water that could be produced, therefore, we proceed to compute the available moles of ethane:

n_{C_2H_6}=2.7gC_2H_6*\frac{1molC_2H_6}{30gC_2H_6} =0.09molC_2H_6

Next, we compute the moles of ethane consumed by 13.0 grams of oxygen by using the 1:7/2 molar ratio between them:

n_{C_2H_6}^{consumed\ by \ O_2}=13.0gO_2*\frac{1molO_2}{32gO_2}*\frac{1molC_2H_6}{\frac{7}{2} molO_2}=0.116molC_2H_6

Thus, we notice there are less available moles of ethane, for that reason, it is the limiting reactant, thereby, the maximum amount of water is computed by considering the 1:3 molar ratio between ethane and water:

m_{H_2O}=0.09molC_2H_6*\frac{3molH_2O}{1molC_2H_6} *\frac{18gH_2O}{1molH_2O} \\\\m_{H_2O}=4.86gH_2O

Best regards.

A galvanic cell at a temperature of 25.0°C is powered by the following redox reaction:
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

2.01V ( To three significant digits)

Explanation:

First we show the standard reduction potentials of Cu2+(aq)/Cu(s) system and Al3+(aq)/Al(s) system. We can clearly see from the balanced redox reaction equation that aluminium is the anode and was the oxidized specie while copper is the cathode and was the reduced specie. This observation is necessary when substituting values of concentration into the Nernst equation.

The next thing to do is to obtain the standard cell potential as shown in the image attached and subsequently substitute values of concentration and standard cell potential into the Nernst equation as shown. This gives the cell potential under the given conditions.

I'm afraid I won't pass. And very nervous. Can you help me please.
daser333 [38]
Just look at the number in front also called coefficient (you have to balance the equations first, but all the questions here are balanced, so no worries). for q1.
in the balanced equation, the number in front of aluminum oxide is 2 (2 - this number Al2O3) and for aluminium is 4 as in (4 Al). so the ratio is 2:4. simplified it is 1:2. or write it out fully
2 Al2O3: 4 Al
ignore everything after the number.
2:4
same as 1:2
Aluminium oxide to oxygen
2 Al2O3: 3 O2
2:3
aluminum to oxygen
4 Al: 3 O2
4:3

question 2
Mercury oxide to Mercury
2 HgO : 2 Hg
2:2
same as 1:1
Mercury oxide to oxygen
2 HgO : O2
since oxygen in this case does not have a number written in front of it, the default is 1.
2: 1.
you should be able to do the rest

Which symbol is generally used to represent a sugar in simple models of nucleotides?
Bumek [7]
The sugar that occurs in nucleotides tends to be a 5 carbon sugar called ribose or deoxyribose and tends to be represented by a pentagon of 5 carbons joined to oxygen and OH to form part of the helix forming nucleic acids. The nucleotides are what constitutes the DNA and RNA which control genetic characteristics.

Which classes of isomers are easier to separate from each other in the laboratory: enantiomers or diastereomers?
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

diastereomers

Explanation:

Enantiomers are optical isomers that are mirror images of each other. Enantiomers can not be separated by physical methods because the both compounds have almost the same physical properties such as melting points, boiling points, etc. This makes it difficult to separate enanatiomers by conventional methods.

A common method of separating enantiomers is by converting them into diasteromers which are easily separated since diasteromers often have different chemical and physical properties.
